Simon’s solar-powered creations examine light, space and architectural structures. He has fabricated site-specific sculptures for Villa Buenaventura Sculpture Garden in San Juan Cosala, Mexico and Fitzgerald’s Park in Cork, Ireland. Collaborative research produced large outdoor installations in Chicago and upstate New York.

For over twenty years, Simon has run the sculpture lab at UCLA, teaching students a myriad of fabrication methods with a vast array of materials, styles and concepts.

“Throughout my life, I have created art that intrigues, confronts and amuses the viewer. I want to entertain both the eye and mind by instigating discussion of ostensible meaning and social significance.”—Steven Simon
